Children have been recreating scenes and lines from a horror game character after seeing clips online.
"Set in an abandoned toy factory, Huggy is a villain in the game who stalks the players from vents and unreachable places. Videos of the game are available to watch on YouTube, with other clips dedicated to Huggy in songs.
"One song includes the lyrics 'I could hug you here forever, till you breathe your last breath together.'" Poppy Playtime was created by MOB Games and is a horror survival game. Huggy Wuggy is one of the main villains and appears as a furry blue monster with razor sharp teeth.Chris Conroy, Cyber Protection Officer for Dorset Police said:"There are videos people have made, songs people have made, and it's popping up all over YouTube and TikTok using this quite graphic imagery of this bear-like character with razor-sharp teeth.
Conroy added:"If you were to use even YouTube kids for example, it may slip through because there is nothing obviously sinister about the name of the video. It really comes down to paying attention to what your children are doing and making sure they are not just trusting YouTube Kids videos are safe because unfortunately with videos like this, things do slip through the cracks."
